How Green Was my Valley John Ford

[rossharmonics]

Orson Welles said that there was only one poet of cinema - John Ford. If I had to take one film with me on a deserted island, it probably would be How Green is My Valley. And if I could take just one musical, it wouldn't be Singing in the Rain. I'm tired of the official lists of the greatest this or that. Film is a visual art but such lists blind people to real beauty.

These two minutes are better than most full movies.

My Grandmother  in the early 1900's, was caned in school by her English schoolmaster for speaking Welsh!! Thankfully times have changed! Now they are actively encouraging us to speak our native tongue.

@sunshinec54 To be a alien in ones own country. . . now THAT is a sad thing. . .

I'm sorry, "How Green Was My Valley", im'ma let you finish, but "Citizen Kane" is one of the best films of ALL TIME! One of the best films of ALL TIME!

A wonderful book by Richard Llwellyn based upon life in the old mining village of Gilfach Goch in South Wales...another book worth reading is The Rape Of The Fair Country by Alexanda Cordel

Hey dad, I saw the teacher get pawned today in class!

[theeasybeats]

best scene ever in a movie

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

tom rothman does an introduction to this movie on the fox movie channel that will move the hardest of hearts.

[jojo13jojo233]

This movie won over citizen kane! Bullshit!

[deanriam]

@jojo13jojo233 Fuck off, this is a great film.

[jojo13jojo233]

@deanriam I'm not saying this film isn't good, I'm saying it's utter bullshit that Citizen Kane (A film semi-officially recognized as the greatest film of all time) didn't win.

[deanriam]

@jojo13jojo233 At the time of it's release, Citizen Kane hardly had the status that it has now, it is NO surprise that it lost back in the day.

A few sweaty eyeball moments in this film. If the ending doesn't tear your heart out it only because you don't have one.

Note the grins on the faces of the two boys immediately behind Huw at 1:21, after Dai Bando demonstrates the proper method for throwing a right hand. I'll wager they had dreamed of laying out Mr. Jonas just like that after receiving one of his sadistic canings.

Mr Jonas

[levanyzzuf]

A great film, but this is probably the lamest scene.

[mohanicus]
